Only because calling time in fast pitch is not expected so sometimes ignored, and it takes conscious effort on my part so it's better to cover it with a ground rule, and it keeps pressure on the teams to realize there need to be >1 umpire. Besides, as I said, most of the time it isn't needed because I walk backward if I'm anywhere near home plate.
